Strive has significantly increased its 
Bitcoin holdings by purchasing 3,311 BTC for approximately $280 million between October 5 and 9. This acquisition brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 32,773 BTC.
The purchase was made during a period when the total crypto market cap remained around $2.8 trillion, with Bitcoin's price showing a slight 24-hour increase of 0.04% to $81,498. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 53, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
Crypto Daily's report is the only source for this development, and it states that Strive's cash reserves have also grown to $310.3 million. However, on-chain data from DeFiLlama shows a circulating cash supply of $128.43 million, which may indicate a discrepancy or a different interpretation of 'cash' in this context.
This move by Strive reflects a broader trend of institutional investors continuing to accumulate Bitcoin as a long-term investment. The company's substantial holdings and recent purchase underscore the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a store of value.
The market's relatively stable condition, with Bitcoin's price hovering around $81,498, provides a backdrop for Strive's strategic accumulation. Investors will be watching for further institutional moves and any potential impact on Bitcoin's price.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹8.49M (about $81,627.00), up 0.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
